Viveca Jensen is an accomplished dancer, Pilates instructor, bodybuilder, aerobics instructor and trained boxer, experiences that are evident in her unique approach to Pilates, or what her faithful clients have come to know as "The Swedish Powerhouse Workout.”
Born and raised in health-minded Sweden, Viveca's interest in body sculpting lead to her placing 3rd in the Swedish Body Building Championship. Her confidence buoyed, she decided to pursue her first love of dance, and was soon admitted to the internationally renowned Stockholm Ballet Academy. There she completed a rigorous 3-year-program with extensive instruction by Prima Ballerinas and Ballet Masters in all aspects of traditional dance, jazz and the demanding Martha Graham method. After performing in Stockholm's professional theater community for three seasons, she came to Los Angeles to study under the tutelage of Billy Goodson and eventually toured worldwide as a professional dancer appearing in music videos and films.
In 1997 an injury cut her career short. On her road to recovery, she discovered an unknown talent as a motivator, becoming a popular aerobics instructor for World Gym. But it was a chance introduction to Pilates in which she found her true calling. She received her international Pilates certification under Master Pilates Instructor Ivon Dahl and is now a successful owner of her own Pilates studio in Burbank, California, where she works as a personal trainer to a few Hollywood celebrities including Hilary Duff, Actress/Singer, Alexis Bledel, Actress, Melissa McCarthy, Actress/Comedian, and Amanda Bynes, Actress.
